Wednesday I loaded all of the kids into the minivan and we went shopping at Aldi. I'm not sure how many kids you have or if you take them grocery shopping with you or not but here's the thing - I dislike grocery shopping, even when I'm alone. I dislike it even more when I've got 4 little kids in tow. It's not that my kids ... Read More

I remember back to before we had children and I thought our finances were tight. It's funny how many things you can learn to live without once you have children and they come first. Am I right?! I've learned to get by with fewer new outfits, cheaper makeup, and date nights are few ... Read More

The following is Christina F.'s miscarriage story in her own words.
I experienced my own awhile ago but remember it like yesterday.
I was 12 weeks along when I started bleeding. It wasn't very heavy but enough to make me go to the Dr. He did blood work and was going to make me wait 3 days for the results. Three days to see if my first baby was going to make it. My friend ... Read More

Hi my name is Lisa...I am 40 years old and have had 3 miscarriages.
My first miscarriage was my second pregnancy. We found out at 7 weeks things were not progressing like they should. At 9 weeks we knew it was going to happen...It finally happened at 11 weeks. I had horrible cramping and felt miserable. We were told that it was a blighted ovum...Where the egg didn't ... Read More

I don't care who you are, we all struggle with feeling lonely at one time or another. As children we get hurt because we are last picked for kickball (even though we might suck at kickball)--it still doesn't feel good to be left out. As teenagers we lose our minds if we aren't invited to the biggest sleepover of the year. As young adults, we leave our high school/college ... Read More

I love volunteering! It gives me a sense of involvement, giving-back, making the world a better place, and so much more! I get out of volunteering 10x more than I ever put in--especially when it involves children and/or dogs! I have compiled a short list of the most overlooked places to volunteer when people are out there wanting/looking for good volunteer options! Take ... Read More

At my previous workplace we were always looking for fun and exciting ways to boost morale, have fun at work and just feel “ young at heart,” so naturally April Fools Day is a huge deal for us! We had everything from silly string wars, small harmless “items taped to the desk” pranks, and even some larger items wrapped in plastic wrap! We’ve had our share of fun and seen some ... Read More
